KISSING TIPS

Kissing is often considered a means to an end.

It's how many couples kick off their sack sessions, but as soon as things start heating up, making out usually falls by the wayside. "Some people think that sex is so full of pleasure on its own that kissing isn't important," says clinical sexologist Krista Bloom, PhD, author of The Ultimate Compatibility Quiz.

And that's a damn shame because locking lips throughout the sexual
experience (and not just at the very beginning of getting busy) can make the pleasure skyrocket considerably. "There are tons of nerve endings in your lips that stimulate desire," Bloom says. "Smooching before, during, and after intercourse can be extremely arousing and satisfying."


However, not all puckers are created equal; the trick is knowing what mouth-to-mouth moves intensify each stage of sex. Luckily, we've gone ahead and mapped it out for you. Try these tips to kiss your way to total bliss.

Foreplay: Tease Him With Soft Pecks

Just as a runner needs to stretch before a race, your bod requires an
equally strategic warm-up before launching into full-throttle passion. "You don't want to come on too strong with your lips or you might accelerate
his excitement too quickly," says Bloom. Instead, ease him into the pleasure zone, gradually increasing his arousal. The slower the buildup, the bigger the bang.
